well and fine

I have not been taking any photos of myself lately, but I thought I would include this little candid shot my dad took of all of us after our Thanksgiving dinner. My little family had two dinners on Thanksgiving this year and both were delicious. This is just after the second one. It was a good day. I hope you had a nice week last week too.

I plan to resume my outfit photos now that I have gotten a few things out that I needed to say. I really just lounged in my yoga clothes all week last week. Before last week, I thought that if I didn't offer some visual stimulation here, no one would listen to what I had to say. I am happy to report that this is apparently not the case. Thank you so much to those of you who stuck with me over the past week. I needed to learn that lesson to be sure I was posting photos for the right reasons. Coincidentally, outfits and self portraits (in a sense) are a huge part of my new thing I am developing. I am looking forward to getting to business now that I have done some self investigation.

I like hearing what you have to say. Granted, sometimes I feel a little bit like an idiot because you seem much smarter than me and some things are way over my head, but it's been nice to hear your heart.

It looks (and sounds) like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family - I'm glad!

I am glad I am following you, because I totally feel like I resonate with you. In the past I wanted to post outfit photos of myself, but started feeling as though it was getting too shallow and stopped doing it and even deleted my blog. I have re-started the blog and wondered if I should bother, but reading you I guess it is all a matter of where you put your focus. I have learned from your posts in the last couple of days that I needed to know that I posted outfit photos of me for the right reasons, and I feel the same way that you did and do now.

Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts with us, it has really helped me to see things in a different way as well.

Great photo of you and your family, it looks like you all had a great time :)

I know what you mean! Sometimes i feel like the few followers I have follow more for the photos and less for my opinion on things. I've been breaking away from posting outfit photos as much, mostly because I haven't the time, but I'd like to resume!

What a wonderful photo...you guys all look so cozy and contented. I am enjoying following along on your journey of self discovery, though, of course, it is YOUR journey, and therefor mostly unintelligible to me! The last installment, though, on the issue of authenticity, gave me a few things to mull over. As the museum I work at closes up for winter, I find myself with a lot of extra time on my hands. I have been dreading that, silly as it seems, because I know that I need to take that time to reflect, process the tumultuous events of the last few years, and get back in touch with who I am and what I want out of life. Daunting much? Your transparency and excitement over your own self discovery has been very encouraging! So thank you for sharing, don't stop, but oh, please DO post more outfits! I'm addicted.

I read your blog pretty often but never really comment. This is maybe kind of weird and mushy sounding but I just wanted to say that you seem like a really intelligent (and emotionally intelligent) woman, and you radiate warmth and beauty in all of your photos. It's really inspiring to me, and no matter where your life's journey takes you, as long as you're still writing about it and letting us all read and share it with you, I will still read. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself!

I enjoy seeing your outfits.....I see it as a creative outlet (or at least it is a creative outlet for me putting outfits together) and appreciate you sharing ideas with us. You are a talented artist. Keep up the good work and thank you or sharing your thoughts and new perspectives.
